Split-Second Shrimp
I use my microwave to hurry along the prep of this super fast shrimp scampi. It’s deliciously buttery and full of garlic flavor. We love it as a main dish, but it makes an excellent appetizer, too. — Jalayne Luckett, Marion, Illinois

Who said colonoscopy preps had to be boring? Added drained canned green beans when shrimp was done (used garlic powder and chicken broth, no pepper, parsley or wine) and a perfect low residue diet choice! Will do again for a quick scampi with pasta, just not this week!??
So good! My go to for quick shrimp scampi.
So good and so easy. Love it!!!!!
I cooked under the broiler for appox. 2 1/2 min per side. Wonderful scampi! I used more butter so I could serve over pasta.
I made this recipe last night; it's so easy and delicious. I served it with some noodles and peas. Will make this again.
This was indeed quick and easy. Perfect when you don't have a lot of time. I made the recipe as is. I do prefer fixing this in a skillet rather than this method.
Living in Tampa, Fl, we eat a lot of shrimp, but I had never thought to do it in the microwave until I say this recipe. Shrimp cooks fast as it is, but this is even faster, and just as delicious... in fact, I think more of the flavor stays with the shrimp using this method than when they are cooked in an open skillet. I added the shrimp to a vegetable and rice medley... made a wonderful dinner.
Very nice recipe. I made the BLT salad, same page, as suggested by Katlaydee3, along with corn on the cobb. Very good summer dinner.
I love this recipe! So simple, with tasty results. I like to serve it atop angel hair pasta along with a green salad.
I loved this recipe but I found that it took about a minute longer to cook. I served it with the BLT Salad on the same page.
